We want you to enjoy beautiful skin
now and savor a hale & hearty future
With the discovery of the natural organic
serum produced by land snails to care for their skin and regenerate it whenever damaged, our focus has been on making it available to more people
and to create skin care products that will expand your options for a
healthy life style.
We earnestly wish you many more years
of beauty, health, strength and aging gracefully.
"Hale & Hearty" is a phrase from Shakespeare that means "healthy, whole
and well nourished". The alliterative phrase hale and hearty is
often applied to older persons who retain exceptional health and youthful
vitality. Hale & Hearty also means free from defect, disease or
infirmity; whole in mind and body; restored to vigorous good health;
and staying fit and healthy.
Where does the FUTURE enter the equation?
In the end, you determine whether or
not you’ll have extra healthy years because you could be incapacitated
at age sixty or hale and hearty at one hundred. A modest change towards
taking care of your health will enable you to live healthily and live
longer.
The latest research, building on the
results of the Human Genome Project, is showing that virtually all the
chronic degenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes,
arthritis, digestive disorders, loss of mental function and even many
cancers, are the result of dietary, lifestyle and environmental choices
that we make that don’t provide for our genetic needs.
The foods we eat play a mayor role.
The information we now have is that the foods we choose to eat deliver
so much more than calories - they contain compounds that actually affect
what our genes will express in our appearance, overall health and longevity.
With the exception of a few traits like
eye color and an increased potential risk for some diseases, our genetic
inheritance or genotype holds a variety of options for what will appear
as our phenotype, in our actual physical being. We're learning that
the products we consume actually "talk" to our genes, delivering
information that changes which aspects of our genes, those that promote
health or those that engender dysfunction and disease, will be activated.
Scientists have discovered that even
the inherited genes that have rendered us more susceptible to various
chronic diseases do not, inevitably, cause disease. Their damaging messages
remain silent, unless we make food, personal products, lifestyle or environmental
choices that trigger them into action. While researchers are just beginning
to identify which genes are highly protective and which cause people
more susceptibility to unhealthy aging and chronic disease, there’s
sufficient information to make smart choices about the products you
use and the foods you eat.
An explosion of recent research has begun
to reveal the immense effects that antioxidant and phyto-nutrient protective
compounds have on our skin and our health.
Our skin reflects and reacts to our entire
being, physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual. If you eat well,
exercise regularly, sleep adequately and find ways to alleviate stress
in your life, your skin will reflect this healthy lifestyle.
Exceptional skin is an asset for the
future and affects not only how people see us, but also how we see the
world. In our current environment, it is so important to protect and
care for our skin.
As a dynamic, complex system, the skin
reflects the body's internal health and as the largest organ of perception,
it responds to external influences such as hot or cold temperatures.
A large percentage of a person's T-cells, the cells of immunity, are
found within its layers. The skin helps us to eliminate toxins and defend
our body from bacteria.
The skin provides an honest mirror of
our inner health and well-being. Consider that when we eat a great deal
of fatty foods or foods to which we are allergic, our skin is often
the first indicator that we have mistreated ourselves. On the other
hand, when we have been drinking plenty of water, getting all the necessary
vitamins and minerals and exercise, our skin exhibits a healthy glow
that is indicative of the attention we are paying to ourselves.
What should I eat to send healthy
messages to my genes?
While the evidence is complex, the conclusion
is simple. A Mediterranean-style diet is the best way we can choose
to send our genes the messages that will produce optimal health. This
healthy way of eating, which easily delivers between 5-10 daily servings
of fruits and vegetables along with whole grains, nuts, cold-water fish
rich in omega-3 fats and the healthy fats found in olive and flaxseed
oils, is absolutely loaded with phytonutrients.
Research has uncovered a multitude of
ways how phytonutrients talk to our genes and is now beginning to explain
the many epidemiological studies that link a Mediterranean-style diet
to healthy aging, protection from and/or treatment for all the major
age-related chronic diseases, including heart disease, high blood pressure,
diabetes and cancer.
How to Eat for Youthful Aging?
First, we need to avoid unnecessary exposure to free radicals and
keep our cells well supplied with antioxidants, both by the foods we
eat and by inducing those genes that maximize our own internal production
of antioxidants. In addition to familiar antioxidants in foods, such
as vitamins E, C and beta-carotene, our cells rely on for protection
a number of very powerful antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide
dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase, all of
which are manufactured in our cells - if the right messages are sent
to our genes by phytonutrients. Trace minerals and the foods in which
they are concentrated are also necessary to provide essential components
of antioxidant enzymes.
How to Care for Your Skin and Enjoy
Graceful Aging
By supplying it with antioxidant enzymes
and bioavailable trace elements -thus supporting the innate immune system-
the skin is able to cope and repair solar radiation damage, hormonal
imbalances that cause immoderate inflammatory reactions or whenever
it is affected by environment insults or accidents.
